Concrete Joint Repair in Ann Arbor, MI
Concrete joint repair means rebuilding or resealing the intentional gaps cut or formed into slabs so they can move without cracking the field. When those joints fail, water gets underneath, freeze-thaw cycles heave the edges, and the damage spreads fast. We remove the deteriorated material, prep the joint walls properly, and install a filler that actually bonds and flexes. Skipping this repair turns a straightforward fix into a full slab replacement.

How It Works
Our Process for Concrete Joint Repair
- 1
Joint Inspection
We probe the full length of each joint to find soft spots, voids, and edge spalling before touching anything.
- 2
Old Material Removal
Failed sealant, backer rod, and loose concrete get routed or ground out completely so the new material has clean walls to bond to.
- 3
Profile Correction
If joint edges are chipped or uneven, we grind them flush and apply edge repair mortar before any sealant goes in.
- 4
Filler Installation
We set backer rod at the correct depth, then apply a flexible polyurethane or epoxy filler matched to joint width and expected movement.
Ann Arbor Context
Why this matters in Ann Arbor
Ann Arbor's freeze-thaw cycle runs hard from November through March, and joints take the first hit every season. Homes near the older neighborhoods on the east side often have slabs poured without proper joint depth, which compounds the problem.
Straight Talk
About pricing & scope
Scope depends on how much edge damage exists beyond the joint itself and how many linear feet need attention. Joints with wide spalling on both sides take significantly longer to prep than clean-walled joints.
